Film #23 of No Rewatch November
From everything I had seen of this movie, I definitely wasn't expecting it to be one of the best action films of the year, second only to Dredd.
The film is set in New York City and that means that there are tons and tons of crowd scenes in this. And, these aren't just your regular old crowd scenes, these are big old shoot out crowd scenes that are chaotic, but not confusing. The shoot out in front of the hotel is awesome, as is pretty much every other shoot out in the movie. It is nice to see an action movie that is all about shoot outs, as for some reason this has become a rarity.
Safe is a pure action movie that delivers in every area possible. I loved the setting and the set pieces, and I love the fact that I thought this movie was going to be trash at it actually was amazing. Definitely give this movie a watch if you haven't yet.
